Answer 1

Answer 2

There are a number of possible explainations:

Answer 1:

This sea is called the "Red Sea" because:

The Red Sea splits into two at its northern end into the Gulf of Suez, and the Gulf of Aqaba. The name originally applied to the Gulf of Aqaba, which bordered the land of Edom, which means "red".

1 Kings 9:26 - And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

Today Eloth is callled Eilat, and is at the north eastern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, and is located in what was the land of Edom. Esau was born red. Edom, another name for Esau, means "red".

Genesis 25:25 - And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

So the sea that borders the land of Edom is called the Red Sea. It is the Gulf of Aqaba that the Israelites crossed (from Nuweba beach) having walked day and night for six days across the Sinai peninsula. The real Mount Sinai is not in what is now called the Sinai peninsula, but in Arabia.

Galatians 4:25 - For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia.

Answer 2:

It is called the Red sea because of a typo in the translation. In Hebrew, it is called Yam Suf (ים סוף) which means "reed sea". An early spelling error caused it to become known as the red sea. Modern Jewish publications are careful to always refer to it now as the Reed Sea or the Sea of Reeds.

Answer 3:

The name of the sea may signify the seasonal blooms of the red-coloured cyanobacteria Trichodesmium erythraeum near the water's surface. Which gives the sea a red coloured look.
